Looks like an extremely nice bike. 2400 though, kinda steep for me right now. So why are some of these bikes i have mentioned not suitable for my needs? Just trying to understand where you guys are coming from when your mentioning these other bikes.

Also, I checked out those Banshee Bikes posted by (TBubier). They seem like well built bikes for a reasonable price. What's been said about these bikes? Another Bike i found is a Cannondale Perp for $1600. Is this also opposite of what I need? "Pick this bike up for some fun fall riding before its too late. 09 Cannondale Perp...

Alright, Thanks for the comments. I doubt i can build a nomad for around 2g's, Since i don't know what to look for. Are these bikes I am finding opposite of what I am looking to do with the bike?

The Mongoose ad said "3 inch tires, liquid cable disk brakes, bomber fork, heavy coil rear shock with hydraulic reservoir.. asking $1,400.. The Bighit said it was rode 4 or 5 times. Rock Shox Domain Fork 7.5 inches, Fox Van R rear suspension 8.5 inches, Avid Elixir 5 Hydraulic Disc Brakes, Sram X9 Derailluer... $1500.. I need to just hold...

Alright, I ended up finding 2 used bikes. Can I get a some direction as of what bike to go with? 2010 Bighit 2 Mongoose Black Diamond Triple

Thanks guys. exactly the answers i was looking for. I guess ill just wait it out and see if i can find a good deal on another used bike.

Ride the bike around... Finding trails. Probably hit up a resort 5 or 6 times a year. People have told me 2 bikes would be ideal for what im looking for, but i dont have that cash.
